“ Service was great food amazing so different from other hot dogs places you can add additional stuff to ”
“ Loved this road side spot. Always in search of a good dog with a nice snap and they didn't disappoint. It was good and the bun was soft and not split. Got my dog within a minute or two. I would suggest studying the menu in the parking lot if this is your first time before going up to the window. There is lot of outdoor seating directly in front, across street and in front of parking spots. Nice sign with some history of the building as well. ”
“ Great place to grab a dog and beer. Love all the amazing toppings! Dennis the owner was sweet and told us the story of how the Dog Den started. Go to this place you will not be disappointed. ”
“ It's actually a really nice spot despite being on the highway and next to the train station. They made it feel really intimate and lovely over there. Service was good, nothing crazy, but very quick. The dog was delicious and stacked so high with toppings. The fries needed salt and I wish I asked for dipping sauce but overall a really good dog and fries. Highly recommend. ”
“ Bernie Mac & Cheese with Chili for the WIN! Big Hig Tot's takes Tot to the next level! Fast service, fun food, and an atmosphere that will leave you thinking about when you'll be back! ”
“ I've been absolutely dying to try this place since I drove past it a few months ago. I was worried I wouldn't be able to this year as the temperature cooled down but I'm so glad I was able to try it because let me tell you, it was SO WORTH IT. They have so many delicious hot dog options to choose from, but I landed on the McDogden. It was essentially a Big Mac hot dog (no hamburger). Everything about it just worked, from the hot dog itself to the sesame seed bun, special sauce, and chopped onions. The curly fries and onion rings were also delicious, the curly fries were perfectly fried and seasoned. I was initially worried about the actual hot dog as I have a thing with hot dogs that "snap". If you also have this fear, rest assured, the weenies at The Dog Den do not snap!! ”
“ I'm giving the Dog Den 3.5-4 stars because the atmosphere is great. It's located near the White Plains train station and close to the Bronx River parkway trail should you need a bite (or reward meal) after a bike ride to the Kensico Dam. There are bike rails to park your bike and tons of games to entertain yourself with including corn hole. The menu is vast with an assortment of hot dogs to choose from, many of them very unique, just be prepared to get a little messy. I had the Guac Mash & my fiancé the Bernie Mac, you could always build your own or go plain. The tater tots were on point, crispy, tasty, and a little greasy. You definitely need a fork and knife to eat these or at least to eat all the yummies that fall out of your hot dog. The hot dogs are definitely pricier than your average hotdog but I guess that's due to all the extras added on these. I would definitely recommend locals and visitors to WP to check out. Great place to spend some time outside, enjoy a meal and drink, and play some games. Love the vibe for sure. They lost the 1-1.5 stars from me because the two teenagers working the front were not in the best of moods and then proceeded to take their break together and smoke one of those weed pens just a few feet from where we were eating totally disrupting our meal and made us inhale their smoke. So instead of tasting and smelling our food, we were smelling their smoke. I would recommend the management team give its staff down guidance on what's appropriate vs. not in front of patrons especially when eating. There was a family with a baby next to us too, not sure if they got a wiff of that also. ”
“ Dogs are HOT, a little salty for me, but good. I eat my dogs with ketchup only so I didn't try any toppings. Buns are DELICIOUS- fresh and toasted to perfection Cole Slaw- seems to be their own recipe but could be fresher. Service quick and friendly: outstanding. This outdoor space is perfect for downtown. The parking and seating and access is great. I hope they get big crowds because this is a great concept. I like supporting local business. ”
